Brake pads OEM Nissan or Duralast
Reviews
I just put Duralast Elite Ceramic pads and Duralast Gold rotors on my 2017 5.0 and have been very pleased with them. While not physically measured I’m of the opinion stopping distance has been reduced. Everything you need is in the box and rotors are coated to resist corrosion and have no film to remove before installation.
Pros: reduced stopping distance, easy installation
Did all brakes and rotors with top duralast gold and heavy duty ceramic pads- maybe 600
Pros: heavy duty ceramic pads
Vehicle:
Ford
Duralast Friction Ceramic Brake Pads D1766 front 49.99 back 39.99 old pad and a harbor frieght C clamp 8.99 98.27 guesstimation on sales tax 104.97 total/
Pros: low cost
Part number: D1766
I’ve always run Dynamic Friction or Centric myself. I have no complaints from either brand, both preform well, quiet, seem to last (which will obviously vary by how much you’re driving/stopping), and they get the job done.
Pros: perform well, quiet, durable
I had warp issues with my 2010 Sport MT until I bought these pads and rotors from AutoZone: Duralast Elite pads DE1394 and Duralast Gold rotor 3295DG. This was two years ago and parts were $160 and labor was $80/hour (cheap around here...Philly) for a total around $300.
Pros: solved warp issues
Vehicle:
Honda Fit
Part number: DE1394, 3295DG
I'm only now replacing the pads & rotors *for the first time* during my ownership. The rotors won't pass inspection, but I'm shocked to find that the pads still have 7/32"-8/32" left. As it turns out, I've been running Duralast Gold rotors & Duralast Elite pads the entire time.
That's a phenomenal track record for the amount of "spirited" road I put past this car.
Pros: long lasting, phenomenal track record
Cons: rotors won't pass inspection
Vehicle:
Ford Taurus
Mileage: 130000 km
i have an 80zx with an sbc swap, i’ve rebuilt all 4 brakes, replaced a master, swapped coiled did bushings replaced u joints
Pros: aftermarket solutions
I put Duralast gold's on all my vehicles. Got a good warranty and come with all clips and brake grease you need. They're ceramic also, so quieter and more smooth braking and significantly less brake dust. Last quite awhile (1-2 years) as long as your not heavy braking all the time. And they're not too expensive either, moderately priced. Plus a bonus, they're black and match my paint.
Pros: quiet, smooth braking, less dust
I'd avoid the cheaper duralast stuff but the gold is usually OK.
Pros: Gold is usually OK
Cons: cheaper Duralast is bad
I won't even use duralast brakes on my daily driver, let alone a 3400 pound 200 mph missile..
Cons: poor quality, unreliable
